Fire reported at Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos
Muhammed International Airport, Ikeja, Lagos. An eyewitness said the
fire emanated from some cables, which apparently melted under heat
.This led to a blackout in the airport terminal while fire fighters
deployed swiftly in the affected area to quench the inferno.
The fire fighters were able to put the situation under control while
security men erected a metal barricade around the site. In a separate
incident, a cargo plane blew off the roof of a parking lot at the
airport on Wednesday night, causing damage to some cars.
The extent of damage has yet to be ascertained.
Kim K to Instagram: Don't Mess with My Pics .... OR ELSE!!!
user -- Kim Kardashian -- is telling friends she's considering leaving
unless its new policies are drastically revised, ASAP. Instagram has
been under serious fire this week ... after the company announced a
new terms of service policy (T.O.S.) which seemed to give the company
power to sell user photos to outside companies without having to
compensate the user.
Instagram says the widespread interpretation of the policy was simply
not true ... they're not selling user photos ... and apologized for
the "confusing" language. Instagram says it's revising the wording and
will release a new TOS in the near future. But Kim K isn't convinced
... at least not yet ... and is telling friends she's thinking about
shutting down her Instagram account, going to a rival photo-posting
company ... and taking ALL OF HER FOLLOWERS WITH HER. It's a big deal
... considering KK has the most followers of any Instagram user at
5,726,343 ... way past Justin Bieber (4,366,729) and President Barack
Obama (1,834,079). Plus, if Kim goes ... her family members could
follow ... and Khloe, Kylie, Kendall and Rob are also in the Top 10
most followed on the site.
One source close to Kim told source the reality star is planning on
waiting to see the revised T.O.S. before she makes her final decision
... but unless she sees some radical changes, she's outtie 5000.
Rihanna slipped into a skimpy bikini body in Barbados
hit the pool in Barbados on Wednesday, and she gave us a peek at her
tattoos ... and her amazing body! And it sounds like the 24-year-old
R&B star could use a little time off, as on-again/off-again ex Chris
Brown and his on-again/off-again ex, Karrueche Tran, are reportedly
back together.
"Being single sucks," RiRi tweeted on Tuesday. "The only thing I get
to do anymore is whatever the f*ck I want to do." So does this mean
Chris broke things off just to get back together with Karrueche?
Possibly! "You know what, from what I've always known, she's his
girlfriend," Christina Millian blabbed to Wendy Williams last week.
"And that's where it lies for me. I see everything in the media. I
really don't get into the detail of it, but I think everybody has
their own life and how they deal with things.
They have the right to handle it how they want ... I think they make a
great couple." Sounds like some R&R in the islands is just what the
doctor ordered!
Aint nobody feels sorry for this wh**"l. She got what she deserved.
She wants to act ghetto. Let her get treated ghetto.

Justin, Ashton SWATTER 12 years old
claiming there was gun violence at the homes of Justin Bieber and
Ashton Kutcher -- is only 12 years old ... Y!online has learned.
Sources connected to the boy tell said ... he lives in California with
his mother. He refuses to go to school and sits at his computer day
and night, communicating with other hackers. We're told he is
antisocial, preferring the keyboard to personal contact .
Our sources say Children's Services has been to the boy's apartment
multiple times, trying to stabilize the situation, to no avail. We're
told the mother has virtually checked out. We're told the family is
"incredibly dysfunctional."Our sources say the boy is smart, but by no
means a Zuckerberg-esque genius. Still, he was able to evade cops for
months.
We're told law enforcement is sympathetic and steps are afoot to
remove the child from the home and place him in a stable foster
environment. We're also told authorities are inclined to get the boy
counseling rather than mete out punishment -- i.e., place him on
probation and if he completes his counseling program all charges will
be dismissed.
It's pretty remarkable ... a 12 year old concocted incredible fake
scenarios to fool cops ... telling them gun-toting Russian thugs had
held people in Ashton's house hostage.The L.A. County D.A. has yet to
make a decision on charging the boy with crimes.

PATRICK OBAHIAGBON speaks over gov .yakowa's death jubilation by Muslims in kaduna
Kaduna State governor, late Patrick Yakowa, in the Saturday's
helicopter crash in Bayelsa, some sections of youth in Kaduna were
jubilating over the incident.
When the current Vice-President, Namadi Sambo was appointed into his
current office, many in Kaduna State reportedly didn't like the
automatic emergence of late Yakowa, then deputy governor to Sambo, as
the next governor of the state. The reason was that Yakowa was a
Kaduna Christian.
Coming out to react to the jubilation in some section of the state
when news went round of his death, former Federal lawmaker, Patrick
Obahiagbon condemned the act in his usual 'complex' use of English.
"Whilst I feel tongue tied that we are witnessing another 'air mishap'
that has taken the lives of fellow Nigerians, I am utterly shocked to
hear of the jubilation in certain Northern political quarters and
muslim youths in Kaduna State. Just too too cruddy and it is beyond
the fugacious razzmatazz of the moment.
"I seriously call attention to the rutilanting and coruscating modus
vivendi of Master Jesus the Christ and I dare pontificate that save
and until we viscerally emblematize the virtues of self-immolation,
quintessential abnegation, eulogizeable simplicity, humility and
immerse ourselves in a platonic emotionalism of agape love and
communalistic service and head to unity as one nation," the Edo State
law graduate stated.
